8 are 1+/3-           7 are 2+/2-            9 are 3+/1-            4 are 4+            2 are 4-

Interesting points
a) In modern times, neither of the 4- types (Douglas Home and Brown) were ‘elected’ PM. Both took over when the sitting prime minister resigned and neither was elected thereafter.

b) Striking to note that after Douglas Home & before Tony Blair, all but 1 of four successive prime ministers were 1+/3- type and none since.
